It shows his descent into the dark side.

Been there, done that, have the gaffi stick to prove it.

Vader says "NO, I am your father" not "Luke, I am your father." Watch Empire and you will hear the correct line.

Actually, IIRC, He says:

No, Luke.Iam your father.

Thanks for the corrections on "No Luke, *I* am your father." I knew I didn't remember that one right.

The "It's a trap!" line is Ackbar's. My heart was pounding as the Rebels started heading for the DS2...a better line might've been Lando's when he said, "How can they be jamming us when they don't know...if we're coming?" I had no idea how the Rebels were going to get out of that one.

According to http://www.filmscape.co.uk/features/scripts/esb.html. this site has script of Empire Strikes Back,

VADER
There is no escape. Don't make
me destroy you. You do not yet
realize your importance. You
have only begun to discover your
power. Join me and I will complete
your training. With our combined
strength, we can end this destructive
conflict and bring order to the
galaxy.

LUKE
I'll never join you!

VADER
If you only knew the power of the
dark side. Obi-Wan never told
you what happened to your father.

LUKE
He told me enough! It was you
who killed him.

VADER
No. I am your father.

What about the scene where Leia tells Han that she is Luke's sister? You can see the relief in Han's face clearly.

Slartibartfast: It is correct that it was an improvisation.
He was supposed to say "I love you too"

Thats nice, but you're wrong. It is "No, Luke. I am your father."

YOU'RE THE ONE WHO'S WRONG. I watched "Empire" and checked for the exact line. And guess what, Vader says " No. I am your father." NOWHERE DOES HE SAY LUKE'S NAME. AND IF YOU STILL THINK I'M WRONG THEN WATCH A COPY OF "EMPIRE" FOR YOURSELF AND YOU WILL HEAR THE CORRECT LINE FOR YOURSELF!!!

"No Luke. I am your father."

"Now you shall witness the firepower of this fully armed and operational battlestation. Fire at will commander!"

"How could they be jamming us they don't know...that we're coming?"

"I love you!"
"I know.

"I have to save you!"
"You already have Luke."

Both ESB original version and special edition.

No. I am your father

I'd probably say "Luke, I am your father." Nobody knew when it first played, there wasn't an internet to distribute spoilers. I wasn't alive when TESB came out, but I imagine the audience must have been shocked.

Lol. I constantly get pissed when people add the "Luke." Surprising how many die-hard SW fans don't even know the damn scene they say is their favorite.

Anyways, my favorite:

"I am a Jedi, like my father before me."

It's even better now that the prequels give it perspective.

IRG CommandoJoe · Post by **IRG CommandoJoe** » 2002-10-25 11:50pm

I guarantee we'll see a new amazingly dramatic moment in Episode Three that matches "I am your father." But for now, "I am am your father" takes it.

—when Yoda lifts Luke's X-wing out of the bog, moves it toward the shore, and gently sets it down in front of the astonished acolyte.

"I don't believe it!"

"That is why you fail."

In my view, the best demonstration of the Force in any of the movies.

Guest · Post by **Guest** » 2002-10-26 12:54pm

Carrie Fisher is supoded to have threw a a wobblem over Harrison saying "I Know". but it suited the solo cockyness better.
My favourite scene was the final lightsaber battle between Vader and Luke
"especially for your.......Sister. So you have a twin sister. Obi Wan was wise to hide her from me. Now his faulure is complete. If You won't turn to the fark side perhaps she will"
"yahhhhhhhh"
Procede to the best lightsaber dule ever accompanied by the most passionate music i have ever heard.

HemlockGrey · Post by **HemlockGrey** » 2002-10-26 05:24pm

"So be it...Jedi."

"That's not a moon. That's a space station."

"Fire at will!"
"WHAT?"
"Dantooine is far too remote for a proper demonstration. I assure you, we will deal with your Rebel friends soon enough."
*BOOOOOOOM*

That moment in TESB when the Rebels are getting into the trenches...and the music swells, then the percussion starts banging out the Imperial March, and the walkers rise on the horizon.

BTW, what's the big deal with Greedo shooting first? So Greedo fired a warning shot and Han took offense. Big deal.

You have got to be kidding!

That was no "warning shot" Greedo fired in the SE. It was just plain stupid. Lucas felt he had to go out of his way to demonstrate that Han was a thoroughgoing good guy, with no shades of grey to him —which includes never shooting first at a villain.

I give George Lucas credit for a lot of things. But he has had the very unfortunate tendency to try to make his creation more kid-accessible. The same decision process which polluted the SW universe with the Ewoks and Max Rebo in the first place.

If Greedo is an experienced bounty hunter, the last thing he's going to do is waste a blaster shot just firing a warning —especially with a killer at the other end of the table and you can't see his hands or his blaster. The second unbelieveable thing is that Greedo would miss from that range.

The whole thing was simply stupid, no matter how you look at it.

Ah, ok, point taken.

This moment is even stronger now that there are five movies, and I think will only be strengthened even more after Ep III comes out.

Luke standing before his father's funeral pyre.

He doesn't say "yaaahhhhhh", he says:
"DAAAAAAAAAARTH!"
